The original show in question is BBC 1’s The Night Manager that aired in 2016. The series is till date the most expensive show BBC has ever produced.

Hrithik will be seen in the role of Jonathan Pine that was essayed by Tom Hiddleston in the original version. The Night Manager is an espionage-drama that is based on the 1993 novel of the same name by John le Carré and adapted to the present day by David Farr. It will be interesting to note who plays the role of Richard Roper that was essayed by Hugh Laurie.
